Donald grew up in Queens with his siblings. His father, Fred Trump, had laid the groundwork for the Trump real estate empire. As a father, he was tough. He wanted his children to get involved in the family company, which they all did to one extent.
Already as a young boy, Trump found his passion in the construction business and would glue toy blocks together to make skyscrapers.
Donald Trump got his education at the New York Military Academy and later graduated from the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania.
In 1971, Donald took over his father’s company ad renamed it the Trump Organization. He grew the company and became involved in many areas of real estate, including hotels, residential and commercial buildings as well as casinos and golf courses.
Rather than focusing on areas such as Brooklyn, Donald Trump shifted his focus to Manhattan as well as other areas such as Atlantic City and New Jersey. Ultimately, he became the real estate mogul of New York.
In the mid-2000s, Donald Trump was well-known within the business and real estate sphare in New York City. However, in 2004, everything changed as he got his own television show, The Apprentice. The show aired on NBC and it was a big hit. Every week more than 20 million viewers sat down to watch Trump and 16 entrepreneurs who all pursued a job within The Trump Organization.
The season finale attracted 28 million viewers and became the most popular show of that week. It was during The Apprentice Trump famously began using the phrase "You're fired," which ultimately would be associated with him and still is today.
Trump stayed on The Apprentice until 2015, with Arnold Schwarzenegger taking over after him. It only lasted one season before it was canceled.
Donald Trump has been married to three women: Ivana Trump, Marla Maples, and Melania Trump. He and Ivana tied the knot in 1977 and welcomed three children the couple welcomed three children — Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric.
The marriage got an abrupt ending in 1990 when Ivana filed for divorce after finding out Donald had an affair with a woman named Marla Maples, with whom Trump tied the knot in 1993. They welcomed one child, Tiffany, just months before the wedding. Sadly, their marriage ended in 1997.

Donald Trump created a big fuss when he, a few days before Christmas, greeted fans at Mar-a-Lago with what seemed like a new haircut. His hair was slicked back on both sides, and from the front, it looked like a mullet.
However, it appears as if Donald has not changed his hairstyle. The sudden change was caused due to his hat.
